If it does then it means any reference to FLP automatically looks at WIN.

Use WIN_USE without any name to reset things.

You should then be able to run each game by running its Basic boot file:

LRUN flp1_cuthbert_boot
etc

All references to FLP within the boot file (or elsewhere) will be pointed to files on WIN device.
Hi!

in Q-emulator "WIN_USE" gives always "bad name"...

If Qemulator has no WIN device (or not implemented as all other systems) it probably would reject WIN_USE.

But if Mister has WIN device it should be OK with WIN_USE

In QemuLator the devices are already known under multiple names, FLP1, WIN1, MDV1 are all the same. But that is just QemuLator, in any other platform you have to do the WIN_USE thing.

THANKS TO ALL, IT WORKS!

So through Q-emulator I've copied the games from gloppy to *.win "hd".

Then:

WIN_USE FLP
LRUN FLP1_NAMEOFTHEGAME_BOOT
